My Dear Killer is one of the more disturbing and convoluted gialli of its era. The twist-laden screenplay piles on the surprises, but happily it does so without becoming unduly ridiculous. There is also a nastiness to the various deaths which makes it linger in the mind.
Troy Howarth, So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films, Volume 1, 1963-1973 (Midnight Marquee Press, 2015) -
Sharing its repellent child-killer theme with the following year’s Don’t Torture a Duckling and Who Saw Her Die?, this is a consummate giallo, which effortlessly draws its audience into a complicated narrative populated by dubious characters.
